Urban expressways have a profound impact on the built environment. Check out the latest field note from the Urban Design Studio. This one takes a look at the history and construction of I-65, which runs through the center of Louisville.

Louisville permanently undermined its downtown to widen a highway bridge that drivers are now going *out of their way* not to use. A cautionary tale about hubris of the highway lobby. usa.streetsblog.org/2018/11/28/ken…

Rule 58: Build Cycle Tracks A cycle track is a protected bike lane separated from cars. In Brooklyn, it tripled biking, cut speeding from 75% to 17%, & reduced injury crashes by 63%—with no impact on traffic flow or travel times. Walkable City Rules amazon.com/Walkable-City-…

As we continue to improve our real-time communications hardware, passengers should now generally be able to see location information for their bus in their app of choice.

Ever wondered why a traffic light takes so long to turn green on a certain day? There are several factors - including where you stop your vehicle on red. @LouMetroDOT @LouMetroPDS

Deaths from traffic crashes are an epidemic in this city. We must make our streets safer in Louisville. That requires us to change the design of streets to slow car travel speeds. We need faster change.
Jacob Munoz@jmunoz1_

I pretty often drive through this part of Broadway. A few days ago, I stopped for two people who had turned on the flashing crosswalk. But there were around 6-7 drivers ahead of me who didn't stop for the flashing lights. It's very challenging to cross even with the crosswalk.

Here's how you spend transportation infrastructure money. Expand a bridge to have 3 lanes... for passenger trains. Higher top speeds... for those trains. And a wide, separated bike and pedestrian area for everyone.
Chris 🦝 (READ BIO!!)@TrashPanda08x

Chuck Schumer has announced a 215mil Crisi grant (Biggest ever) for the Livingston Ave bridge replacement in Albany. The newer bridge will have a higher top speed, wider and feature a walking path connecting Albany and Rensselaer. This will massively benefit Amtrak Empire trains.

Would love to see Louisville fund and celebrate and justify its traffic calming efforts like so many other cities do
Somerville Infrastructure@SomervilleInfr1

It's new speed hump week! Crews are on multiple streets this week building new speed humps to deter speeding down streets that have historically been used for fast cut through traffic. Check the map for locations and see what we are planning for 2025: somerville.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/s…

3. Turn the extra 8 feet of pavement into a walking area, divided from the travel lanes with paint, curbing and especially bollards.
